Substation Design Example

- The document provides information to design a single phase bus support for a substation in Nagpur, including the height, bus dimensions, short circuit forces, wind speeds, seismic data, and structural member details. - Analysis of short circuit, wind, and seismic loads on the bus, insulators, and structure are calculated. The combined wind and short circuit loading produces the greatest forces and moment at the base of 17,342 N and 3,930 N respectively. - The maximum compressive and tensile forces in each main leg member are calculated to be 25,221 N based on the moment at the base. The total applied load per leg including compression is 25,645 N.

Wind Loading : Wind on structure Fwt = Pd x Cdt x Ae x Gt Where, Cdt = Drag coeff for panel under consideration against which the wind is blowing . Values of Cdt for different solidity ratios are given in Table 5. Solidity ratio () is equal to the effective area of a frame normal to the wind direction divided by the area enclosed by the boundary of the frame normal to the wind direction. Solidity ratio () = Aeff / Agross Ae = Total net surface area of the legs, bracing, cross arms and secondary members of the panel projected normal to the face in m2 Gt = Gust response factor, Table 6

Therefore seismic forces are not critical for this structure.

Forces in the Member:Moment at the base causes tension and compression in the chord angles. C = Tensile or Compressive force C = 17342 N.m / [ 2(0.380 2 x 0.0181)] C = 25221.1 N per leg P = Applied load P + C = [140 x 9.81 + 6 x 54] / 4 + 25221.1 P + C = 25645.45 N per leg Forces in bracing member shall be 25 % of the leg member.
